Bound by Witchcraft: Charmed by My Masters (4 page)

The body heat that had kept her warm earlier and helped her sleep, was now gone. Blair frowned and peeked around the room. Her bedroom door was ajar, so she could just make out Jax’s naked body, as he leaned against the wall talking to Gray and Dietrich.

“The Triad is done, and we are mated, but we all know it’s not going to stop them from trying to take her.” Jax snarled and downed his drink.

“We know this Jax, but with the Triad done, we’ll be better able to protect her. I just finished talking with Blair’s eldest brother. It seems the man she gave her virginity to is now searching for her. This Jacob Richards created a link to her, once he took her maiden head. He’s working with the vampires, who want her. We had no choice but to do the Triad now. It was the only way to break the link.” Dietrich snapped. His magic swirled around the room as if a storm were brewing. Sparks of light flashed, a breeze moved the curtains, and the hairs on her arm stood up.

“If only she would have saved herself for us.” Gray slammed his glass down on the mantle of the fireplace.

Blair crept to the door and stood there, her chest felt as if an elephant had sat on it. They had only made love to her so they could do the Triad, not because they wanted her. She reached up, and slammed the now fixed door, locking it with her magic.

Tears threatened to come, but she wouldn’t let them. So be it, they had their Triad. Blair would be damned, if sh’d let them back into her bed again. She crawled back under the now cold sheets, and curled around the pillow Dietrich had been lying on. His cologne drifted up to her nose, and one lonely tear slipped out.

“Blair open this door now!” Jax pounded on the door. “I’ll break it down!”

She didn’t move an inch, knowing the door wouldn’t budge, with her magic protecting it, but he tired anyway, growling when nothing helped. Blair smiled thinking of the children’s story, Red Riding Hood.

“What the hell?” Jax snapped.

“She has a spell protecting the door. Remove the spell Blair.” Dietrich ordered, his voice dipped into that of Master Flade. Well he could take his master voice and shove it where the sun does not shine.

Blair turned and glared at the door. “Go sleep in your own beds, there is no reason for you to be in mine, especially now that the Triad is done. You did your duty. Now leave me alone, I’m tired.” Her voice cracked on the last part of her words, as she tried to hide the hurt inside.

“Duty! I’ll give you a duty, and tan that ass. Now open this door.” Jax snarled and punched the door.

“Bring it on wolf boy, and see where I shove that tail.” She snapped, as she reached over and grabbed a flowered vase. She aimed and hit the door. It shattered sending pieces all over the place. “Now shut the fuck up! You have fucked the witch, you have the power you wanted, now leave me the hell alone.” Her temper always did get the better of her when she was tried and hurt.

“One. Don’t make me get to three, Blair.” Dietrich demanded, his voice was calm and quiet, but his magic washed over her and sent a chill up her spine.

“I’m not a freaking child Dietrich, I know how to count, just go away.” she shouted and pulled the pillow over her head, when the door started to creak, and bow inward. “Please Dietrich, just let me sleep.”

“Two…” The door hinges started to pop off the wood, his magic stronger and more powerful then hers, slowly it dissipated her spell.

Blair sighed; the words flowed out of her mouth and released the spell, knowing there would be no sleep until they were allowed in. She curled up into a ball on her side, the spell gone. Blair took a deep breath inhaling Dietrich’s scent from the pillow, which now covered her head. All three of them stormed into the room.

The covers were flung back and ripped off her. Jax yanked her out of the bed and shook her. “Don’t ever, and I mean ever, lock me out of your room again.”

Dietrich sat down on the bed, and pulled her out of Jax’s arms into his lap. “I’m not going to punish you Blair, but the next time you pull a stunt like that, I won’t hold back. Why did you do it?” He held her chin in his hand, and held her gaze with his.

Blair sucked in her breath. “It doesn’t matter. You got what you wanted: the Triad. The three of you have your prize witch, that’s all that is important.” She yanked her chin out of his grasp.

“Don’t worry Master Flade, I’m not going anywhere. I have nowhere else to go, anyway.” She tried to get up, but he held tight, and sighed.

“You’re mad because we did the Triad? Why, it had to be done, you know this!” He frowned, glancing up at Gray and Jax.

“See there you go again. That’s all you wanted, the three of you, you didn’t want me. Hell, you don’t even know me, but it would have been nice to wake up, and still be in your arms, but no. You still harp about something I had no choice but to do.”

Blair jumped up when he released his grip on her, and glared at him. “Do you really think I liked giving myself to some stranger? His cold hands…” she shivered and rubbed her arms.

“There was no one to help, don’t you understand? I had to protect my family, even if it meant selling myself, so get over it. I’d do it again.” She glared at each of them and crossed her arms in front of her refusing to flinch.

Gray stepped forward, but she backed away. “Don’t! You three have taken something that should have been beautiful, and made me feel dirty once again. Just go away.” Blair moved around them, and crawled back into the bed and covered herself, totally disgusted by all three of them. She might not know that much about sex and love, but Blair knew enough that she didn’t want this kind of sex without some kind of love.

* * * *

Dietrich stared down at his hands. Never had he felt so like a first class asshole as he did right now. Tonight, had been her first time in her heart, making love to someone, and they had turned it into something ugly instead. Twice tonight they’d hurt her, in less than four hours.

He glanced up into Jax and Gray’s face’s, and knew they too felt as he did, but he also knew they couldn’t leave her alone. Very slowly, he crawled into the bed next to her trying not to spook her. Dietrich slowly wrapped his arms around Blair and pulled her back on top of his body.

Her body was stiff against his. “It’s okay Blair, all we want to do is be with you.” He kissed her head. “Sleep little witch, we’ll talk in the morning.” He ran his hands up and down her back.

Jax slipped in next to them, as Gray took the spot on his other side and covered their bodies with the quilt. He nuzzled her neck, while Gray and Jax held and kissed her hands. Her breathing slowed, and she started to relax on top of him.

She was so tiny, but so powerful. The thought of anything happening to her, scared the crap out of him. For the past four hundred years nothing had scared him this much, not even his own mortal death. Tomorrow, they would pamper her like she deserved.

He closed his eyes, and hoped she would forgive them.

Dietrich’s eyes snapped open, and scanned the room. He could have sworn he just closed them. Blair was gone, and all three of them were still sleeping.

“Wake up, she’s gone!” He snapped, and jumped off the bed when Gray moved out of the way. He glanced at the clock, seven o’clock in the morning. “Where the hell is she?”

Jax turned and nodded to the bathroom door. He sighed, and gently pushed open the door a crack. Soft music played, candles lit the room, and she lay in the tub full of bubbles.

“Susan stop,” Blair was saying into her phone. “You damn well know they had no choice but to do the Triad, with so many after me. No Susan, you’re not turning them into snakes, give them a chance, I just got here. Maybe in time they’ll love me, now it’s too early and you know it. Hell, even I don’t know them.”

Gray turned to him, and he nodded, as all three of them stepped back, away from the door. “If one of her sisters turns us into anything, I swear I’ll hunt them done, and spank their ass.” Jax grumbled, and plopped down on the bed. “What is it with her family anyway, that turns everyone into snakes?”

Blair came into the room and laughed. “I’m afraid, the snake is one of our spiritual animals. Every one of us has it as a guide.” A large towel wrapped around her body, her hair was pulled up onto her head, which she now released and let it fall down to her waist.

Dietrich glanced down at their little witch and smiled. “Are you going somewhere?” He asked when a bright pink jogging suit appeared to cover her body, when she pulled the towel away.

She stepped away from him. “I was going to go for a run and look around to get my bearings, and then seek out the kitchen. I thought I would make some breakfast for us.” Blair smiled up at him. “I make great blueberry pancakes.”

“I love a good morning run. Do you mind if I join you?” Jax stood up, and moved towards the door.

“Um, aren’t you forgetting about some clothes?” Blair snickered admiring his ass.

Jax turned, and grinned at her. “I don’t wear any when I run. Is that going to be a problem?”

She cocked her head to the side and smiled. “I’ve never run in the nude. Sure, why not?” Blair proceeded to lift up her sweatshirt.

“What do you think you’re doing?” Dietrich frowned and watched as she slipped off her shoes, then pants.

“Going jogging with Jax of course. When in Rome do like the Romans.” She turned away from him, laughing.

“You will not be running without clothes.” All three of them demanded at the same time.

Blair turned, and put her hands on her hips. “And why not? If you can do it, so can I.”

Jax snarled, and nodded at Dietrich. “Would you please put some sweat pants on me?”

She grinned, and pulled her pants back on and shirt. “Thank you.” She twined her hair into a knot in the back. “Now let’s go, so I can make a big breakfast for us when we get back.”

“You don’t have to cook Blair. We have twenty-four hour staff here in the kitchen. Whatever you want, they will make for you.” Gray moved in front of her. “But first aren’t you forgetting our morning kiss?”

Blair frowned, and glanced up at Gray. “Why do you want a morning kiss? You already performed the Triad. There is no reason for a kiss. It isn’t going to help any of you. Just like last night, you didn’t have to sleep in my bed.”

Dietrich sighed, and sat down on the bed. “Come here Blair, we need to talk.” He patted the spot on the bed next to him.

She moved to the bed and sat down next to him. Gray and Jax knelt down in front of her.

“We’re sorry about last night. We should have taken more time with you. You’re our wife now Blair. In all my years, never did I believe that I would be lucky enough to have one, but the god’s smiled down on me when you walked into our home,” Dietrich caressed her cheek.

Gray took one of her hands and kissed it. “Blair, Dietrich has been here for over four hundred years, without a woman to love. Sure he’s had woman sexually, but never has he had one that he could claim as his, till yesterday.” He smiled.

“Jax has been searching for his mate for over forty years, and I have been searching for over one hundred. When you came to us, with people hunting you, it was too much. We can’t lose you after just finding you. I would have loved to give you the time to get to know us, to give you those candle light dinners, dancing. All three of us want to give you those things, and we will, but we must always protect you first.” Gray nibbled on her fingers.

Blair smiled. “I know it’s going to take time for all of us, but please talk to me. I’m new to all of this, and I want to please all three of you, but we’re not husband and wife in the real sense.” She pulled her hand back and held up her hand.

“Yes we’re mated, and bonded, but to be married, husband and wife, there must be love. Humans did have one thing right, when a couple loves each other they join in marriage, to promise their love to each other. With our kind, it’s more of Mother Nature insuring the survival of our species. I want the marriage and the love, though. Plus you haven’t asked me.” She jumped up, and glanced at Jax.

“Come on, let’s go run.” She stepped up to Gray as he rose, and kissed him softly on lips. “Morning.” Her face turned pink, and she stepped back looking down. Gray pulled her back into his arms.

“Umm, that’s a start, but let me show you how it’s done.” He grinned as his hand caressed the back of her neck, while his other hand grabbed Blair’s ass and pressed her body to his. Gray’s lips covered hers.

He stood and stretched listening to her little moans; she stood on her tip toes, as her hands slid up and around Gray’s neck.

“Wow.” She whispered, when he pulled away with a smirk on his face.

Dietrich wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her back. Blair fell into his body when he stood. He slid his hands under her jogging suit and cupped her soft round globes of her ass. He lifted her up, and stared into her eyes. “My turn, little witch.”

She weighed nothing next to him. It was as if he lifted toothpick. Dietrich nipped her nose, before he softly covered her lips. His kiss was gentle, but controlled. Blair ran her fingers through his hair and grabbed hands full as they dueled back and forth. He was ancient, but there was nothing ancient about his moves. His kiss was meant to melt her insides. When he finally lifted his head, he was grinning. “Now that is how you say good morning. Go on, and have a great run, but keep inside the security fence.” He slowly lowered her down his body, her breasts rubbing against his chest.

Dietrich glanced at Jax. “You know if you have any troubles to use the tunnels?”

Jax nodded and held out his. “Come on early bird, let’s get this run done, I’m starving all of a sudden.” Jax wrapped his arm around her and they walked through the maze of halls.
